Saddening :( August 4, 2010

Got this Archos almost as soon as it came out.
the manual was not much help and it was about 2 weeks until I discovered a whole other menu by sliding my finger to the side on the home menu. from there you can adjust settings and such.

I had a Sandisk Sansa e250 before and it was all fine until the sound gave out.

the Archos has a really nice layout and is bright and easy to read, totally not grainy like outdated electronics.
it was easy to make up to 5 playlists under "favorites", as opposed to one or none on other players.
it's a really nice looking player with a great display.
camera is just for fun though- pictures were small and grainy, but hey. it's easy to snap a picture and set it as your background on it.

sadly, it didn't last too long as I dropped one of my sneakers on it and the screen pulverized. I didn't imagine anything of the sort happening after my extremely durable Sansa. very disappointing and a waste of $100 for a player that I only got to enjoy for a month, after that accident.
I'm afraid to buy other touch screens now for fear of the same thing happening.
far too fragile, which is a shame.

Great Music Player July 24, 2010

I chose the 3cam over the regular 3 vision because of hopes that the camera and photo would be worth having. Even though I haven't had much use for it so far, having the ability to put my favorite shows on it is great. The screen has a great picture and the music sounds great, having the radio is a huge plus too. I have not had any problems with the transmitter being weak like some other people have stated, you just have to tune it correctly. I would recommend it for anyone looking for something different than an Ipod. The only downside I can honestly say is the lack of info they give you from the directions on how to use it, but for avg. tech people its no problem.

Good value set of features July 23, 2010

I really like the set of features this offers in a compact package with reasonable price. The little manual that comes with it doesn't do it justice; there are more capabilities that you can discover on your own or in the right forums. It amazes me on how well the little thing can play movies, and of course I expected it's great performance on various music formats.

Some features only seem to have the most basic functionality, like the microphone and FM transmitter seem weak, and the camera/video taking isn't terribly sharp. And it can be hard at times to navigate audio books. But maybe I haven't gotten it tuned up optimally... I found right away that some of the default settings were directed toward another continent. Pretty happy for the price though.
